In 1957, two young sisters — Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock — were killed in a tragic car accident in the quiet town of Hexham, England. Their parents were left devastated, their family forever altered. But one year later, twin girls were born into the same family, and as they grew, they began to speak of memories they should never have known. Memories of toys long gone, places they had never visited, and lives they should not have lived. Join us on this episode of Three Theories as we explore three unsettling possibilities behind the mystery of the Pollock Twins. Were these memories the product of grief and suggestion? Could they point to a psychological phenomenon we don’t yet understand? Or were these two sisters… returned from the grave? What do you believe?

In 1587, more than one hundred settlers established a colony on Roanoke Island, off the coast of what is now North Carolina. When their governor returned from England three years later, the settlement was deserted—its people vanished without a trace. The only clue: the word “CROATOAN” carved into a post. Join us on this episode of Three Theories as we explore three compelling possibilities behind the disappearance of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Did the settlers integrate with nearby Native tribes? Were they wiped out by starvation, disease, or attack? Or did something far stranger account for their disappearance? What do you believe?

On the morning of July 2, 1951, investigators in St. Petersburg, Florida discovered a scene that defied all logic. Mary Reeser, a 67-year-old widow, was found almost entirely reduced to ash in her apartment. Her foot, still clad in a slipper, and part of her skull were all that remained. Strangely, the room showed only minimal fire damage — a mystery that baffled experts, horrified neighbors, and sparked decades of debate about the chilling phenomenon known as spontaneous human combustion. Join us on this episode of Three Theories as we explore the eerie and unsettling mystery of spontaneous human combustion, examining three compelling theories. Could Mary Reeser’s death be explained by the Wick Effect — a slow, candle-like burn fueled by the body itself? Was it the result of an unusual internal chemical reaction? Or could it have been caused by paranormal forces beyond scientific understanding? What do you believe?
